[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 995850, member: 48043"] Personally, I use a start load with a medium powder for the fire formed caliber when I open up 375 h&h to 7stw. I've tried the cow thing (with farina) and I hated it. The barrel was a dang mess afterward and I think cleaning it tore out as much barrel life as the mild ammo would have. Didn't get the time with the rifle actually shooting groups either using cow. Went to shooting fire forming loads and got good trigger time with the rifle and some clover-leafs to go with it. with the stw it was the semi formed brass with the neck bump ( sub shoulder) at the proper headspace point and enough 4831 for a stw start load with 120's. If your sub shoulder isn't that big ( and you aren't belted) use a long bullet and jamb it good into the lands with an appropriately mild load. [/QUOTE]
